Location could not be more in the middle of the city. Excellent location!. There was free public parking not that far from the hotel. The staff was very friendly and it was a very nice hotel that even though it was kept classic it didn't feel worn out. Excellent breakfast but things ran out a bit to fast. We came 1 hour after it opened. It was not very crowded and the staff was very helpful and friendly.
